Also possible, I wonder if playing Dom is a handy way of harassing his work rate and energy. @PaulMcC186 If Bradley has only just started training, think it's unlikely he starts. Granted he wasn't out for long.

Dom at RB for a few games? No chance that Gomez starts if 20 mins resulted in him not being able to train for 3 days.

That article from Pearce...not looking good. I hope we have some other options or we're going to be short.

The only thing that Newcastle's "strong & robust" statement appears to have achieved is to lower their asking price to £130m. As has been said, I was expecting something a lot firmer.

Time to get back on the phone to PSG

There's come and get me pleas and there's that... He's probably booked his stadium tour for tomorrow!

The way it was reported last week seemed like it was pretty much done, then there was a sudden change, coupled with Guehi blanking Glasner. I wonder if Parish reneged on an agreement or similar?

Even if it was completed before, there is no way he'd play. Not match fit, no pre-season, can't see us taking the risk with his injury record.

Looks like Doak to Bournemouth is pretty much done (£25m).

Konate spent the majority of the game reminding Hughes why we need Guehi. Was all over the shop. But I'm most worried about the balance of our midfield, Wirtz needs to be stronger on the ball. He had a decent number of recoveries but also got dispossessed a fair amount. Grav did really well at 6 last season but the structure is going to be quite different. I can see Grav and Macca starting most games, we're going to miss Doms workrate. Anyways, first game of the season, three points. Onwards and upwards. Ps I know Mo usually looks skywards after scoring but today just had so much more meaning. He did the shark celebration and looked up...you could see the emotion. It must be so hard for all of them.

Mo there at the end Legend.

Never in doubt

Not sure what shape we're playing now. Chiesa wide would make some kinda sense but through the middle...

Pathetic all round

WTF

Earlier subs made us worse. Understand the Kerkez one.

Endo in midfield would have made more sense. We're missing Frimpongs recovery pace

Ffs Dom

Great composure from Cody

Aside from Ibou struggling I think Mac being off the pace is impacting us the most. He's not the best at 6 and his lack of fitness is not helping.

Agree, Robbo was already warming up. Frimpong is slight but uses his pace and body well.

Yes, some great moments but we're struggling to beat their press.

I'm not sure if I was the only one who had a bit of Nunez PTSD when Hugo was through on goal

Yes Hugo!! Lovely calm finish
